Bournemouth council fine a motorist who pulled over to help a pensioner who had fallen

Bournemouth council, one of the country’s most ruthless, refused to cancel a motorist’s penalty charge notice after he explained that he pulled over on a bus stop after seeing an old lady fall over.

Mr Jury said

I cannot believe it, I think the council has gone mad.

In fact like other council’s Bournemouth council is learning fast how much money it can rake in by using CCTV cameras to issue parking tickets. This is the same council that is now issuing 4,500 tickets a year from its CCTV smart car.
